It was a very good night for FreeEMS last night, we successfully proved the functioning of about 1/3 of one new feature, with the remaining 2/3 being fine tuning of mathematics which should be pretty straight forward. Paving the way for bigger and more interesting things, though this is pretty cool in and of its self. Excuse vagueness. :-)

A great day for the project today. Some code that's been getting hacked on by myself and a super star for the last year got finalised and mainlined today. 40 commits, 36 by the star, 4 by me. Perfect. And they're good quality, no BS, modded with care and attention to detail. Love it.

My contribution today was extracting an old complete-enough-to-test branch from a bunch of other material and updating it to current standards. Cherry picking commits from Silverstone at 3am :-D Hoping to test that next weekend on two vehicles, then think about how the testing went and what we can change to bring it closer to final.

And yesterday I did a couple of hours work for a famous FreeEMSer so they were kind enough to hook a brother up, and this is the result:

IE, me enjoying a nice cold Rochdale Cider :-) Well earned and even more enjoyed. First one in a few months. Yum.

Off to the 740 thread for a few little updates. Maybe down to the garage for some KP work, too? We'll see. I need a bit more Latex in my life today and/or tomorrow. MUST get that done.

Another four commits pushed and mainlined and another engine supported! At least one more planned before the end of the coming week. Maybe more. This next one is a simple but huge step in the right direction. Well tested already, but requiring more integration work before final. After (or before) that, a half a dozen small changes are lined up. Then a change of subject matter to facilitate more exciting changes. This year is gonna be gud. :-p

Yesterday and today I worked on what is going to be a game changer for the tuning scene, at the very least for FreeEMS, if not much more.

Tonight I got it working, close to how I want it. I found a few bugs in the stuff I'm using and will have to follow up on those getting fixed, but I'm in a position to develop it further, which is nice. I've been dreaming about this for a while, and after a long day, now it's something real.

Yesterday an ex colleague came over and we played around with some tech related to the above.

Today an epic FreeEMSer came over and while talking through his configuration for some new behaviour, that, a usual, walks all over the other guys, we came up with an even better scheme, so we'll have to follow up on that soon, at least with some documentation.

And a few days ago I finally had a chance review the source code/issue list/etc of some of the competition. :-/ These are the words that came to mind:

They earned 6 for copying some of the *old* designs in our code base ;-) Shocking stuff, poor users.

Anyway, onward and upward. The new toy is going to make my life so so so much better. And possibly yours too, if you actually use a system like this, and don't just follow along out of general interest.

Today I was in a car that hit boost cut! :-D In fact, despite WOT for 0.519 seconds, it took 0.587 seconds to clear by dropping below 105kPa (from 200kPa). Amazing how long the turbo keeps producing pressure with only air running through it! :-D I wonder how long it'd take to reach <105kPa if he hadn't lifted? Another 1/4 of a second or so? I still think having it fall back to 100kPa is a good idea for now until we add some sophistication to certain functionality vaguely related to this.

With more sophsitication the boost cut could be time based or just have a higher threshold of reactivation, say 25% of the way between NA and cut? Cut 200, reenable 175kPa? You'd have to have your sh** together to do that, though.

The other week a version of the firmware with *most* of the enhancements the team has been working was put to the test. With a bit of luck it'll get another test session in a week and a half with more firmware and more features. Exciting stuff, some of those should be released to the beta group fairly soon making way for more progress on the remainder and other new and exciting things. Videos from the other week to be uploaded this week. I promise. Too good not to share :-)

The other day I saw confirmation that some of this thread's most avid readers are enjoying the heavily targeted content to the full extent. That's great to see, and I'm glad it hit the mark! To my two disparate fan clubs, many thanks to all of your members from both sides of the fence. XXOO
